President Trump has welcomed what he called a very promising statement from Vladimir Putin on a possible ceasefire with Ukraine, but said the deal was not yet complete. President Putin said fighting must end in Ukraine, but said there were elements of the American ceasefire proposal that need further discussion. We speak to a former US diplomat in Europe.
Also on the programme: southern African leaders withdraw their troops from the Democratic Republic of Congo; and the divebombing South American hawk wreaking havoc on an English village.
